Hi,

Rote ([http://rote.rubyforge.org/](http://rote.rubyforge.org/)) is looking for brutally honest people  
who have looked at, or maybe even are using Rote, to give feedback about  
their experiences with Rote, the things they like/don’t like about it,  
and  
share any ideas they may have for enhancements. Rote’s development so  
far  
has happened _very_ quickly thanks to contributions from the community,  
and we still have a lot of ideas on the table for implementation over  
the  
next few months.

Over Christmas I stepped back from development to get some time really  
using some of the new features we put in, and let several ideas  
percolate  
for a while. While I now have a better idea of where Rote could go, I  
think that now is an ideal time to get as many ideas from outside the  
project as possible.

My feeling right now is that Rote is pretty much feature complete, with  
only additional macros and filters, plus a few small enhancements to the  
API (for instance to allow many ActionView helpers to be used in static  
templates) left for 1.0. Generally I think that ‘less is more’ in this  
regard - do others agree that Rote should stay simple and flexible?

Cheers,  
Ross
